Agent Provocateurhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_provocateur
An agent provocateur (French for “inciting agent”) is an undercover agent who acts to entice another person to commit an illegal or rash act or falsely implicate them in partaking in an illegal act. An agent provocateur may be employed by the police or other entity to discredit or harm another group (e.g., peaceful protest or demonstration) by provoking them to commit an act – thus, undermining the protest or demonstration as whole.
